Fox has firmed up its late spring/summer scheduling plans, slating new unscripted seriesI Wanna Marry Harry, from producer Ryan Seacrest & ZigZag Prods, and Riot (formerly Slide Show), from producer Steve Carell and Shine America. I Wanna Marry “Harry,” featuring single American women vying for the heart of a Prince Harry lookalike they are led to believe is the real thing, will debut May 27 and air in the Tuesday 8 PM slot. Riot, featuring celebrities and comedians tackling song, dance and sketch challenges on a tilted set, will premiere May 13, following the season finale of Glee. Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, originally slated to succeed Bones in the Friday 8 PM hour earlier this month, was held back when Rake was moved into the slot. The veteran reality series will now rejoin Fox’s Friday lineup on April 11, but it will air at 9 PM, following Rake. That means that midseason comedy Enlisted, already slated for preemption for the hourlong Raising Hope finale on April 4, will be pulled off the schedule after this Friday’s episode, with a return date/slot TBD. In other news, Fox is moving new drama Gang Related from the Tuesday 9 PM slot, where it was originally penciled in back in January, to Thursdays at 9 PM where it will follow Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen. Its premiere date is being adjusted accordingly, from May 20 to May 22. Also set are season premiere dates for returning series MasterChef, Hotel Hell and So You Think You Can Dance. Here’s the full schedule:

Oh come on — ENLISTED is a *great* series; FOX just needs a better marketing team! Get behind it, people. Don’t drop the ball on a good thing.

What the hell does Fox have against Enlisted?!?! It’s well-liked by critics, and loved by the people that are watching. They put it in a terrible timeslot, and now they’re putting it on hiatus. Is Kevin Reilly afraid of having a show that’s actually owned by 20th?

That’s certainly a lot of garbage airing on one night.

Enlisted is a real treasure, and has been posting the highest DVR bumps of any comedy this season. Fox dropped the ball by burying it on Fridays instead of pairing it with Brooklyn 99, which was such a no-brainer it’s not even funny. And on top of that, they stupidly aired the episodes out of order, confusing viewers. (You’d think Fox might’ve learned this lesson from Firefly.) The smart, easy, obvious move here is to bring the final four episodes back in a better time slot, and give them a proper push. There’s absolutely no reason to give up on this show, and plenty of reasons to stick with it (starting with every U.S. soldier, veteran and military family).

John the bumps you speak of are percentages, not real numbers. A high percentage increase added to a low rating that still ends up being a low rating compared to it’s own host network average hurts ad revenue.
Suppose Enlisted’s recent ratings of 0.4/0.5/0.6/0.7 all received a 100% increase(they were no where close to 100%), that still only adds up to 0.8/1.0/1.2/1.4 respectively. Increases have made Enlisted look worse. It’s clear how badly Enlisted skews live to still come in subpar with L/SD, C+, L+ factored in.

Enlisted is such a fantastic show. Kevin Reilly is a dummy. He likes to keep awful shows and cancel good ones. What a jerk.

Enlisted is done after making this move and pulling for Gang Related to succeed as I have a best friend that works on the show and hoping it does well. I still wish FOX would have canceled that dreadful Kaling show.

Trent • on Mar 26, 2014 11:31 am

I swear, Reilly must have some weird crush on Mindy Kaling (a la Steve McPherson with Alyssa Milano).

Enjoy 4th place, FOX.

No Super Bowl, Idol tanking, “hot hit” The morons from FBI, I mean, The Following, being unfollowed, comedies scoring CW-esque ratings and no viewers on friday.

2015 is the year where all NBC jokes we’ve told since 2004 will become FOX jokes.

the upcoming shows sound much better than the last season.

PorkandBeans • on Mar 26, 2014 11:31 am

I’m a huge fan of 99 and Enlisted. They really need to be on the same night. Get rid of Dads, move that to another night and do the one-two combo with 99 the lead in and Enlisted bringing up the rear. I’m a female and I love these crazy shows. Pure fun, not a lot of drama trying to be a comedy. What would be nice is you put them on Monday with Almost Human at 9:00; after they do away with Minka Kelly, somehow, some way. But I would watch Fox for 2 hours straight with this combo.

enlisted is an good show with awesome potential were it handled correctly — which apparently has yet to happen
